Sammendrag
The primary goal of this thesis is to make simple approaches to implement selfmanagement
functions based on the regular administration tools as a way to simplify
tedious tasks for the system administrators. In order to improve the efficiency of system
administration, this work mainly focuses on how to combine ideas from the area of selfmanaging
with the more well-established concepts from virtualization technology.
A fully functioning self-management system was developed for two essential administration
tasks in this project: service optimization and system integrity. In these
scenarios, each virtual machine can make its own decision when and where to live migrate
itself between the physical nodes in order to reach the predefined policies. This
method minimizes the maintaining tasks for the system administrators, only leaving
the high-lever administration policies for the users to decide. From a higher point of
view, this project can be used as an example for other system administrators, showing
how to optimize the regular administration tools for different self-management purposes.
